Underfoot
What a beautiful weekend here in DC! Â I spent the day outside on Saturday, dear readers, and it was quite warm. Â I was working an event and thus dressed none too fancy: t-shirts, sporty capris, and tennis shoes. Â All I could think about, however, was how great it would be to throw on a sundress [...]

Heads Up
There’s something old-fashioned and alluring and incredibly stylish about a hat box. Â Who even gets those anymore? Â My colleague did the other day and as soon as she walked into the office, we all rushed over to her desk. Â What was in there? Â Did she actually buy a hat?! Â Heck, you could be carrying around [...]

The long and the shorts of it
When I was a kid, I loved shorts. Â I’d wear them pretty much from April to September, and my favorite pairs sported some combination of the following: 1) elastic waist, 2) pockets, 3) crayon-box primary colors, 4) polyester/cotton blend. Â Oh yeah, baby. As I got older – and taller – I shied away from shorts, [...]

Quilted!
As I’m writing this blog, dear readers, I’m realizing just how odd of a word “quilted” is, especially when typed repeatedly into Google. Â The Oxford American Dictionary defines quilted as “made of two layers of cloth filled with padding held in place by lines of stitching.” Â Yeah, that seems about right. Â And while the word [...]

It’s About Time.
When I was at Polimoda in Italy, we discussed how the top design houses would not manufacture clothes for the woman larger than a size 8. I was incensed by this information.  The explanation was that brands like Gucci do not want just anyone to be able to wear their designs. They want a very specific, [...]

Guest Blogger: Romper Mania
I went to a dinner party last night in a romper. Not surprisingly, this caused quite a stir- after all, rompers are only recently coming (back?) into style. I am all for it. In my opinion, there is nothing better than a well put together summer romper outfit. Today, I will be making my pro-romper [...]

Crop Failure
“She’s too old to wear that miniskirt.” “She really needs to dress her age.” Sometimes the truth hurts.  But it’s better to know it that to walk around ignorant. So it is with age-appropriate dressing. It’s kind of like when you’re walking around with a big piece of spinach on your teeth, and no one tells [...]

Not Feeling It
In our first installment of “Not Feeling It,” we will discuss floral prints. Specifically, this kind of print: Bleh. Does anyone actually like this dress? If so, please let me know, and explain your reasoning because I just don’t get it. I mean, I really like bright colors, but these flowers just look like [...]
